A species common and widely distributed in Luzon, the oldest specific name 
being here adopted. From the description given by Bail Ion, Phelobocalyrn na cal- 
leryana and Gonocary um tarlacense are conspecific, but P la tea laxiflora Miers, 
is a quite different species. The species seems to be very closely allied to the 
Malayan Gonocaryum teysmannianum Sclieff.
